I Interviewed American Citizens Detained by ICE. These are Their Stories. Andrea Velez and Javier Ramirez were born here. That didn’t stop federal agents from arresting them.

🚨 NEW: Andrea Velez and Javier Ramirez are American citizens. ICE detained them anyways. Why? They looked undocumented.

Today, they speak out, sharing their stories. Please repost this and share their experiences. ICE has detained 170 American citizens since January 20th.

I have more respect for the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at George W Bush than any of the cowards in the current White House press pool.

Statement from the House Select Committee on China, chaired by Republican Rep. John Moolenaar. Trump is selling us out to a foreign country. Again.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

Decoding a fascist collapse in the modern era The clock is ticking, the stress is showing as desperation sets in against a backdrop of a dead parrot economy not resting its eyes.

“History will look back in disbelief that Americans voted for a narcissistic sociopathic and convicted criminal to be their president; it will fascinate political scientists for generations to come.”
